Wednesday Stamper challenged me to put stripes on my stamped artwork today. I had the beginnings of this idea floating around in my head, and this was the perfect time to execute it. “She Always Colored Outside the Lines” is a house-shaped mixed-media piece using Layers of Color Art Stamps.

This was a blast! Thank you Mixed Media Monday gals for the inspiration. Today’s theme, if you did not guess already, is playing cards. I used our fabulous Layers of Color Architectural Blocks, Flower Child and Gothic Crosses sets. While the stamp ink was still wet I sprinkled sparkles to add some glam. Thank you for looking have a blessed week!

This is a mother and daughter blog, today’s art was created by Jessica.

The new challenge blog, Inchy by Inch has asked us to add a word to our Inchies this week; I added a few. I used scripture about God’s Word tasting as sweet as honey for my transparent bee Inchie (1″ x 1″ art). I also added Layers of Color Fleur Heart stamp. Be sure to look at my Inchie gallery for lots more tiny art with a big impact!

How sweet are your Words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

Psalm 119:103

Some bugs are like jewels in my garden, butterflies with colorful wings, dragonflies’ iridescent bodies and beetles with shells like colored metal. I’m fascinated with the study of insects, and I collect them as an enthusiastic bugologist (”entomologist”, if you want to be formal). Anyway, I was in my studio creating bug and bird ATCs with Layers of Color stamps when Wednesday Stamper had a challenge to create artwork with bugs! Buzzing with excitement, I photographed those I’ve done so far. If you like them, you can see more in my galleries where I also have bug Inchies!

Come back soon to see the rest of the colorful spring ATCs that will be flying around my studio.

This is so exciting! We have a challenge blog of our own, Layers of Color Challenge. A new theme will be posted each first and third Saturday of every month and continue for one week. So please join with us in sharing our “Works of Heart”. We would love to see your humorous contribution, and keep in mind there is a FREE Layers of Color stamp set up for grabs to one lucky artist.

Mixed Media Mondays theme was hats and our Layers of color theme was humor. With this fun combination I created an altered page in my soon-to-be Mother’s Day altered book (Mama, this is just a sneak peak). I used the Layers of Color Beaded Frames stamps to add more movement and fun to my pages.

Thank you for looking! This is a shared mother and daughter blog. Today’s art was created by Jessica, daughter of Layers of Color.
